To give back to our community of developers, we looked at our database of thousands of projects and found the top 10 errors in PHP apps. We’re going to show you what causes them and how to prevent them. Avoiding these "gotchas" will make you a better developer.
When we talk about IoT (or the Internet of Things), we immediately imagine a series of devices – although IoT is much more than that, we often think of household appliances – working in a coordinated way, as if by magic. But those who work with magic (like those who work with engineering) know that behind a great effect there is a complicated and laborious mechanism designed to make the trick work perfectly, and the audience is first surprised and then breaks into applause.
Customers are the lifeblood of a successful enterprise. Yet too often, enterprises fail to keep their customers up to date during an outage. In these scenarios, enterprises risk alienating customers and losing them to rivals. To better understand why this may be the case, let’s consider an example.
XpoLog 7 brings your data into a new age of log analysis and management. While the industry is focused on developing advanced search abilities and simplifying log analysis, nobody has been able to resolve the persistent issues of the long, complex and tedious deployments. Up until today! XpoLog 7 is proud to offer full automation of the entire log management lifecycle!
It is easy to communicate when you are only two. That was us when starting off WebGazer. The easiest way to decide on an issue was to discuss it in person or on the phone. We did not need to think on in-house culture, values and so on. This is mostly due to the fact that we, two of us, were all those at once. We were walking-ethics, values and everything you would expect from a website monitoring service.
We are happy to announce the launch of a new tool on CDNPerf.com called CDN Price Calculator. With this new tool you will be able to calculate how much you would spend if you used any of the CDNs out there. The parameters are very flexible and allow you to enter the total bandwidth, the % per region, number of HTTP requests and more.
The way we think about development started with Waterfall – sequential, solid, conservative – moved to Agile, whose origins can be traced back to a somewhat romantic story at a ski resort in Utah, and is now heavily influenced by DevOps.
With the increasing adoption of containerization, the need arose to manage, schedule and control clusters of containers, and that’s where Kubernetes comes in. Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, generally being Docker containers. When interfacing with Kubernetes, 2 competing tools are often discussed: Terraform, and Helm.
This week’s big news is that Grafana v5.2.2 was released and includes fixes for Prometheus graphs, dashboard links, loading external plugins, SQL connection leaks, and more. Also, check out our new Grafana Flux plugin and monitor temperature and forecasts using Grafana and the openweathermap API.
Like all good IT organizations, you religiously measure the performance and availability of your services and applications. But if those apps run in the cloud, critical components are often delivered by a third party or the cloud provider. In the case of a service disruption or degraded performance, how do you know what the problem is—your code, the network, or the provider? And, if the problem is with the service provider, how do you convince them to take action as quickly as possible?
